what Dean had to deal with this morning, he got to work pretty late.   I had my own issues to deal with this morning but glad none of them involved traffic or snow!!

my dr appt went well.  I love this dr.  I figured out partly why today…she looks and talks a lot like my friend Stacey.   it took until today for me to pinpoint that, I think because I really looked at her the whole time because I was hanging on every word she said.  She was glad I was doing better, she said she was sure I was going to come in worse today than I was last week, so was happy so far things seem ok.   Bloodwork results were once again inconclusive.  some levels were abnormal but alone/together meant nothing.   Liver and kidney functions were good, that’s always nice to know!  as well my thyroid level are fine.

when it came time to discuss a possible diagnosis I finally got something out of her.  She said to discuss w/ my next dr, mixed connective tissue disease . that or a rarer form of lupus.  She did say she does not think it’s MS or fibromyalgia.   She said when I find a new dr to let her know and she will go over my history w/ the dr so it will be an easier transition and that once they find a diagnosis no matter how long it takes because she wants to know.  she said she has a pile of charts of patients that need diagnosis’s.   we joked about getting us all together and figuring it out together; that we all probably have the same thing.   I said all I want to know is if I’m going to die soon and her answer was not anytime soon.   So I guess it’s better than yes but not a definite no!!  no really, I feel optimistic.   Especially since the pain meds are finally helping some.  that and my limiting myself more.   it’s definitely worse the more I do.

getting ready to go drop the van off at the shop, myf riend is coming to take us and hopefully we’ll be able to get it fixed and back before I have to pick Dean up on Saturday morning.

on another health related note, I’m gaining weight quickly again I so hate that!  I’m sure part of it is my cravings for sweets lately, as I type cookies are baking, but my reasoning for those is that I’m making them for Caleb’s teacher as a good bye/thank you gift.

well gotta run….so stop worrying about my health ya’ll!!  the dr doesnt think I’m dying anytime soon and seems to think I have time to wait to see another dr so that’s good.   She said to call if I need anything until then.  She’s awesome, I hate to leave good drs. but I”m hopeful I’ll find another good dr.   that search will start soon after we get in the new place.  I found one at the Univ. of Cincinnati I think I want to try to see, but I need to see if they take my insurance, whenever we find out what that is.

2 more days til Deaner is home, not even 2 whole days, wohooo!!!!
